Posted by wendy5555 I totally agree - Love & Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day. We are responsible for ourselves. Don't waste another minute, decide today to be happy! Even if you've got problems, and I've had MANY, choosing to be happy is not denial, it's making the best possible use of the time you have left.

I know that saying very well. It's a rare breed that hasn't been hurt by love but that doesn't mean you should give up. I find that I can only love one way - all out. I do one thing different this time around - I give the relationship up to a higher power. That works for me because I believe that in order for it to be right it has to be right because God (or your higher power) but it in my way. May not work for you but I believe it works for everything in life just sometimes hard to wrap your head around. |

You say you are in the Autumn season of your life. Well, heck, I am in my mid 70's, found a man who I have been dating from the internet and the relationship gets better all the time. Nothing is perfect, but you just have to "go for it" and remember that life is an adventure ..... get out there and make it happen! |

Posted by Nancy195578 When my husband died, I thought about - is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all - and, even in the midst of my grief, I answered - yes! A couple of years later, I now think about the possibility of meeting someone new, some days I'm afraid of it happening again and having to go through the grief again - then I think of never loving again and I like that option even less. But it's not my decision. |

Here's how I feel. I just have to quote Paul McCartney's line from his song the end. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Which means to receive love you need to give love. So with that said, I believe being open, loving and giving will reap you great benefits. And I do mean open your heart to everyone. You will be loved in return tenfold. |

that is easier said than done, being hurt and living 10 years alone, being afraid of being hurt it depends on the situation, I was controlled and verbally abused. I know it but am afraid to go ahead, every one I meet I find some reason to be afraid of them. The guys I meet all think they are perfect, NOT no such thing I am not perfect. I am willing to give someone a try but don/'t push. They all want sex, hey I want the right person first. |

In Response to Re: You know that saying "love like you've never been hurt" or something like that...: You have to put your hurt past behind you and look ahead be it alone or with another love. Posted by studebaker I agree, in order to be happy in present, you need to forget the past if it hurts. canvas printing |
